Infrequent Flyers Batch 4

Glenrothes 11 Year Old

2009 vintage. Finished in a PX sherry butt and…the colour! 59.1% full of cherries, toffee, cocoa and spice! Glenrothes 11 Year Old 2009 Speyisde single malt Scotch whisky. Single PX sherry butt #6343 bottled 2020 by The Alistair Walker Whisky Co. for the Infrequent Flyers series. 611 bottles. MAXIMUM 1 BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER.

Nose: Brown sugar, coconut and Morello cherries. Heavily stewed raisins and sultanas. Treacle toffee.

Taste: Super sweet, rich and velvety. Really big raisin and sultana notes, reminiscent of clootie dumplings. Mocha and cocoa. Just a hint of cinnamon.

Finish: Long and syrupy. Deceptively smooth – no indication that this sits at a chunky 59.1% vol.
